Hi all !

We are pretty new to camping, and have bought a second hand Hi Gear Zenobia tent (green) which we love. However we feel we need the added room of a porch. I've heard that some gelert porches will fit (being that the horizon 6 is the basically the same tent), but I am worried about buying the wrong one.I would like some advice on which porches people have put on their Zenobias, and which were the best value ! On a student budget, so if we are going to have to fork out, I want it to be right !!

Thanks :-)

Take a look at the dimensions of the Zenobia porch via the Go outdoors site and have a look at the gelert ones that are similar, if the dimensions are the same then you've got a match.

I meant of the actual tent. Then you can have a look at the measurements of other porches and see what will fit.

I have a Zenobia tent and use the Zenobia porch with it, you can often get good deals on them at Go Outdoors. I've never seen a green 1 though,just blue.

hi - we had a zenobia 6 and used a horizon 6 porch with it and it was fine and identical to the zenobia porch - like you ours was green.

Picture below (not ours but one from the reviews section which shows the gelert porch on the higear tent - perfect)

We have Zenobie6 green tent 2009 and Go Outdoors suggested Horizon Porch, same size.  that was 2 years ago   Anyway, porch still available in green on internet, or was, but about £140 I think . We paid £99 . but I love the space it gives.
